Summary

This week we're back with a fresh start! Hunter and El Blasto (TI Tournament extraordinaire) sit down to work through the new rulebook. Now that Hunter has his copy of Thunder's Edge we've gotta begin our project of analyzing all of the new content! It starts here with the beautiful rulebook but soon we'll get to Faction guides, component overviews, and click-bait hot takes. Long live SCPT!
